3 – Bring the quinoa to a boil in 2 Cups of water. Boil for about 3 minutes and tip off the water just to be sure all the bitter residue is gone, then reboil in fresh water until cooked. Boil it in about 1 and ¾ cups water.
4 – Once the quinoa is cooked, set aside and start your soup by cooking the tomatoes and garlic in cooking oil until cooked to a sauce.
5 – Add the butternut and mash it with a fork and then add the sock and bring to a simmer.
6 – Add the quinoa and basil pesto and season with salt.
7 – Add the Coconut milk or cream and mix, then lower the heat to your lowest setting and leave it simmer slowly. You can add a bit of water if you feel the soup is too thick.
8 – Serve with extra basil pesto if you like and some Olive oil as well as Black pepper.
